📌 Warm Tips
The special train departs from Shanghai Station. Passengers need to gather and board in Shanghai; no intermediate boarding points are currently available.
Due to the vastness of Xinjiang, some sections have long travel times. It is recommended to bring books, headphones, and other leisure items.
The opening hours and ticket policies of scenic spots may be affected by seasonal or management changes. The travel agency will provide the latest notices before departure.
Please truthfully report your health condition when registering to arrange appropriate services.
All itinerary arrangements and cancellation/change rules are implemented in accordance with the ‘Tourism Law of the People’s Republic of China’ and relevant regulations.
🌿 This journey is not about ‘rushing,’ but about ‘seeing.’ When the train slowly passes the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, when the blue of Sayram Lake comes into view, when the morning mist of Kanas gently touches the window—you will realize that true travel is about slowing down time and letting the heart keep pace.
